I have two processors at my disposal: a 300Mhz laptop and a 1.6GHz desktop. My idea is that if I can somehow network them together so that I can control the 1.6Ghz beast via the laptop, I can get rid of the clunky monitor and excess keyboard.

Things have been complicated by the fact that they are running on different OS: laptop on MS2000pro and 1.6GHz on XPpro.

I was thinking that maybe I could hook the Inet to the 1.6GHz beast and then on serially to the laptop, but since I am not familiar with such hardware problems, its just a thought.

Also include in your reply what I would have to do if the laptop ran on Linux..coz I would really like to do that...ideally.

Thanks a ton.

what about net meeting. Just establish a net meeting session to the 300mhz box and fire up a window when ever you want to mess with it.

and if you are really serious there is always terminal services. but that would require a copy of win2k server.

to get to net meeting on the XP box type in conf.exe at the run command.

Or just get a cheapo linksys 2 port KVM for 20 bucks or so.
